August may be over now, but at least you still have this playlist that I made a week ago and never shared. I'm still in denial that it's September, so join me and sit in the sunshine and ignore the early signs of autumn. Also, if you need even more music, I've got some album recommendations for you. Last week, Aron D'Alesio released his solo album and it is truly excellent and equipped with everything I look for in an album--warmth, nostalgia, vulnerability, something special I can't quite describe. It's all there for you to hear. I've also had Leif Erikson and A Deeper Understanding on repeat. Hope you enjoy!

Despite my promise, I probably won't post anymore journals for a while since things have gotten even more busy now that fall semester has started. I will try to drop in with a fresh set of photos and perhaps an update now and then. And of course, I'll be making and posting playlists. xx

P.S. I'm having a Labor Day sale up on my Etsy shop (15% off a purchase of $25 or more) until this Wednesday, so check that out if you're looking for some fresh artwork or pins.

I cannot comprehend how tomorrow is the last day of July. As always, my favorite month comes and goes as hastily as a fly who does not want to be swatted. As of today, I am officially done with my summer classes. Equating to the fact that I will now have a few weeks left to catch up on the personal projects I was busy with only in my free time and that I no longer have any excuses to leave incomplete. This week, I already devoted a significant amount of time to bringing to life the ideas that I've had written down in my notebook for months. As a result, I feel reinvigorated and eager to share what I'm creating after a long moment of what felt like, well, stagnation. I've been working with more color and mainly colored pencils rather than markers. I'm still on a graphite kick though and of course, lots of negative space remains in my work. On that topic, I don't think I've ever devoted any time to writing of what inspires me and the meaning behind my pieces; perhaps I will create a post of that sort in the future. Anyway, I put together this playlist for you. It's a bit slower than usual, I think. I really can't tell if it just seems that way or if it actually is. There's lots of fresh tunes and a few that I never stop listening to. It just felt like a summer evening when I was putting it together and the photo I took was taken at sunset and it just clicked that way for me. There's also something nostalgic about it. Maybe it'll be the same for you. Enjoy. xx

It's already the end of June, so I guess it's fitting to squeeze this playlist in before the month is over. My weekly journal is going to be delayed until tomorrow because I have just been busy, busy, busy. I block printed all day on Monday, so hopefully I'll get that diy up soon too. Currently, I am about to start working on two new pieces, so I've got to wrap this up. But before I do, I wanted to mention that two of my favorite bands, Carroll and Night Moves, released new music videos. And they're both sublime. Check them out (Carroll's video for "Red Giant" and Night Moves' video for "Kind Luck"). Hope you enjoy this playlist. xx
